+Kawaii Getsurin~~A Cardcaptor Sakura Fanfiction
+By Forever3330 and Nabiki_S
+Chapter One: She's so Kawaii!
+Long, slender fingers traced an invisible pattern on the armrest of a
+cushioned chair, crimson in color, seated inside of the Principal's office.
+A tall girl, perhaps sixteen in age, regarded her mother and the Principal
+with calm sapphire eyes. She had once been told her eyes were a shade born
+of the mating of sky and sea, but Tomoyo did not think of herself in such
+ways. It was just her mother's affection, whenever the older woman had the
+chance to give it.
+Chuckling to herself as the adults spoke, the ebony-haired girl stood
+quietly, walking over to the window, locking her hands behind her, gazing
+out the glass. It was like a different world, in Tokyo. Where she had come
+from...London, as her mother had been working there for perhaps five years
+now, it was very different. It was odd to hear her native language all the
+time, but a great relief, then almost musical sounds falling to her like
+water did to one who was thirsty.
+Tomoyo raised her hand to the glass, resting it there gently. The sun was
+bright today...she didn't like it. It was too perfect, too calm. The kind of
+day that was made to be broken. But for now, she would like it. A face that
+was not her own gazed back, reflected in the mirror, and smiled, a small
+smile. The girl finally smiled, softly, and the face smiled back brightly,
+fading away to her own reflection. Mirror was too worried.
+"Daidouji-san." A voice, from behind her. Oh. Another teacher. "Follow me.
+I'll take you to Terada-sensei's room."
+Nodding vaguely, Tomoyo followed. She wasn't sure what she passed on the
+way, lost in her own thoughts, but felt a small tug on her right hand, which
+was resting on her schoolbag as she walked. A small, black cat stared up at
+her, then pointed to where she normally kept crackers. Tomoyo gave a nod,
+before the man in front of her stopped. She looked up, and he pointed to a
+door, walking away.
+Door could do so much for one. They were a way into life, a way into change.
+What did this door hold? Smiling at her own thoughts, Tomoyo reached out as
+the black cat went back into her bag, and pulled the door open.
+The typical boredom had kicked in, and that usually ment, the balancing the
+pencil on her finger trick. Sitting by the open window, Sakura sighed to
+herself, while watching the beautiful scene outside. Quietly to herself, as
+the pencil fell from her finger, "Great...a perfect day to be out and
+blading, and here I am...trying to figure out what compound fractures can do
+to fulfil my life in the future...pfft...I can say this much, it ain't gonna
+be an everyday event, that's for sure."
+"Huh?" The classroom door opened up and Sakura's head turned towards it to
+see what was up, and hoping for some form of interruption for this lame
+amount of learning. And when she saw it was a new student, she figured it
+would at least constitute a limited disruption...at least for ten minutes or
+so.
+Mr. Terada looked away from the black board for a moment and smiled
+politely, "Well now...who do we have here?" He placed the chalk down and
+walked over to Tomoyo, "Hello there, you must be Miss Daidouji, yes? I've
+been expecting you."
+The girl smiled. It was small, silent, and calm, as she was. "Hai. I am
+Daidouji Tomoyo. You are Terada-sensei...? Ah...where should I sit?"
+Tomoyo's voice was low and musical, and one would have to strain to hear it
+if it had been noisy. But it was not. The classroom was hot, silent, thick
+with the boredom she herself was familiar with, though she would never admit
+it. Her eyes slid off the teacher, smile in place, and roamed the classroom.
+A few boys and girls smiled at her, and she smiled back, ever polite, eyes
+catching on a few of the more energetic. At the end of her examination of
+the classroom, Tomoyo found herself looking into a pair of eyes of a green
+she had never quite seen. They were not emerald, as many would say, but soft
+and warm and alive. Like a forest, growing. Emeralds were hard gems. These
+eyes might be gems, but they were by no means hard.
+Yoshiyuki Terada nodded toward Tomoyo and gestured towards the end of an
+isle of desks, "Well, if you don't mind...you can take a seat next to Miss
+Kinomoto." He thanked the teacher that had escorted Tomoyo to the class and
+then asked the young girl something before she got to her seat, "Perhaps
+you'd like to introduce yourself to the class first though? If not...that's
+fine too."
+The green eyes that Tomoyo had found fixed on were attached to the rather
+fair skinned Kinomoto Sakura. She was smiling warmly towards the new girl
+and even gave a slight nod as Terada Sensei motioned towards the seat next
+to her's. She thought it was about time that someone would take that seat,
+having been without someone to whisper to in quite some time. Sakura then
+reached down to pick up the pencil that had dropped from her desk, not
+wanting Tomoyo to trip on it.
+A blush spread across the pale girl's cheeks, slightly ashamed for having
+been the least bit rude. She bowed slightly to the class. "I am Daidouji
+Tomoyo, just here from London...I was born here, though." Not quite knowing
+what to say about herself, the heiress smiled and walked to the empty desk,
+gracefully. A good number of boys, and a few girls, gave Sakura glares, as
+the girl settled herself into the seat and Terada began his lesson again,
+this time accompanied by whispers and notes passing about the room.
+"Thank you for allowing me to sit here." Tomoyo's voice, low, to the girl
+beside her, as she searched for something in her bag, carefully around the
+hidden creature.
+Straightening up and placing the pencil back in the fold of her text book,
+Sakura smiled brightly and quietly replied, "Not a problem. I've been dieing
+to have someone to talk to...errr...not that Terada Sensei's class is
+boring. But, you know...it's good to have someone to talk to." Sakura wasn't
+opposed to Terada at all...just when it came to math that she suddenly felt
+a distaste for the classroom environment.
+"So, you're from London England...that's so cool. It must have been
+wonderful there, right?" She wasn't particularly overtly interested in
+Europe, but the thought of living anywhere but here, tickled her greatly.
+"If you need any catch up notes or what-nots...just let me know. I have most
+of them here and you're free to borrow them whenever you want them." Sakura
+was half paying attention towards what Terada was writing in the black
+board, but was more focused on her new classmate.
+Tomoyo couldn't help but smile warmly. For once there was someone who wasn't
+asking about...
+"London? Isn't that where Kawaii M is?!" A glasses-wearing girl leaned
+around Sakura, whispering in an excited voice, amber eyes sparking. "Ah,
+she's the coolest!"
+"Yes, Kawai M was thereabouts. I don't..." How best to handle this? "Know
+much about her. I mean, I've seen the news, and pictures, but it's not as if
+she went out of her way to speak to an ordinary girl like me. Ah...do you
+mind if I ask your names?"
+"Oh. Sorry! Yanagisawa Naoko. Rika-chan is the girl behind me and two seats
+over, but don't bother looking. She's taking notes, probably. That's Chiharu
+behind Miss Kinomoto," Naoko's voice was lightly teasing. "And that's about
+it."
+The girl arched one eyebrow, then turned to look at 'Miss Kinomoto'.
+Sakura nodded, as if confirming Naoko's introductions, "Yeah...that's the
+gang, so-to-speak." She then felt alittle stupid, when the mentioning of
+Kawaii M was made, "Umm...question? Who or what is Kawaii M?" obviously not
+one up with modern news, Sakura had no idea what Naoko was going on
+about...which wasn't all that surprising. The girl had always confused or
+creeped out Sakura with her odd tales and para-media quips.
+She had hoped that Tomoyo wasn't going to think poorly of her ignorance, or
+perhaps it was obscure knowledge and it wouldn't make Sakura look too
+poorly. She then made an after thought that perhaps she should've just
+smiled and acted like she knew what they were talking about. Too late for
+that, she guessed.
+About to answer, Tomoyo was cut off by Naoko, who's eyes were shining
+brightly. "Kawaii M is only the super hero ever!!! She fights the
+paranormal, all while looking good! Well, I mean, she gets messed up after
+battles, but oh gods! She is the BEST! Sakura-chan, haven't you watched the
+news lately?"
+"Sakura-chan. So that's your name. Cherry blossom." Tomoyo wasn't heard by
+Naoko.
+"Anyways, Chiharu-chan knows more about it, don't you Chiharu-chan?!" Naoko
+leaned over, more quiet now that she was done.
+Chiharu looked up at the mention of her name and then smiled, "Hai, I've
+been keeping paper clippings...hold on," she then pulled open her back pack
+and fumbled around till she finally pulled out a slim binder and handed it
+to Naoko, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mihara Chiharu...it's a pleasure to meet you miss
+Daidouji. In there are all of the events that the media have covered on
+Kawaii M. Well, as much as they've released here in Japan. Two of those
+clippings I had to pull off of the internet."
+Sakura blushed as Tomoyo said her name, though wasn't sure why...perhaps it
+was the way she had said it, "Yeah, Kinomoto Sakura...but I like your name
+much better, Tomoyo-chan just chimes nicely. Errr...I mean, Tomoyo-san.
+Sorry..." She then bent over to look at the binder that Naoko was looking
+through. "Ohhh...you're right. She is pretty."
+"Tomoyo-chan is fine, if I am permitted to call you Sakura-chan." She would
+look wonderful in some of those costumes, Tomoyo thought, thinking. She
+wasn't paying attention to the binder much, though the other three were. She
+was watching the brunette. "Ah, nice to meet you as well, Chiharu-san. Your
+clippings are...very extensive."
+And slightly scary, the ebony-haired girl though silently. "You think she's
+pretty?" Tomoyo felt a flush rise in her cheeks.
+The green eyed girl tilted her head slightly as she was reading over Naoko's
+shoulder now, and then looked back at Tomoyo, smiling. "She is...not too
+many people could pull off an out-fit like that and look good in it. But,
+she's done it perfectly. I guess, hence the name Kawaii..." Sakura then sat
+back down after Terada Sensei glanced in her direction, though said nothing.
+She got the point quick enough without a word and nodded apologetically.
+Sakura then looked back at Tomoyo, "Well then, Tomoyo-chan it is. And I like
+Sakura-chan, so that's fine." She took notice that the new girl wasn't too
+interested in Chiharu's collection, and figured it was cause she's seen it
+all first hand in the local papers of London. Probably old news to her.
+Chiharu piped up, "I've been hoisting a fan site for her...though I really
+could use some better pictures to use. News print doesn't scan too well."
+She then reached back to take the binder from Naoko, "We should put that
+away before we get into trouble. I really don't want it taken away from me
+again."
+Tomoyo sweat dropped. "I could...see if I can find some for you...sometime.
+You're EverGreener? I think I've seen the site." She smiled all the time,
+though this was slightly over the top. Sakura seemed interested, though. She
+probably found the superhero exotic or the like. It was odd to even think
+about the website...it even guessed at Kawaii M's vital statistics, and was
+quite possibly the best site out there for the new hero.
+"When's lunch period...?" Naoko groaned as the pictures and clippings were
+taken away, looking depressed. "I can't wait for the horror to end. Or art.
+I hear we're pairing up for the photography unit. You wanna be with me,
+Chiharu-chan? Or are you still waiting to see who else comes 'round. I think
+Rika-chan is paired with Kamirko-chan."
+Chiharu put the binder away in her pack, "You could do that for me, Tomoyo?
+Wow, that's great...I'd even give you mention on the site for that," and
+then grinned at Naoko, "No, we can do it together, Na-chan. I think we work
+pretty good together actually." She then went back to topping up her math
+notes that they had missed cause of the conversation. Grumbling about the
+work as much as Sakura was previously.
+Sakura sighed and figured her had to get back to work as well, but the
+mention of the photography assignment had caught her attention, and she then
+realized that she didn't have a partner either. "Hmm...Tomoyo-chan? Would
+you like to work with me on that project? I mean..." she lowered her head,
+being somewhat embarrassed, "...I just didn't have a partner, and
+figured...seeing how you didn't either...you know, I...well, it would be a
+great way for us to get to know each other, right?" She sort of perked up at
+the last part, "I love making new friends, and I'm sure we'd get along just
+swell."
+Tomoyo smiled birghtly, leaning over on her desk as she replied. "I think so
+as well, Sakura-chan. Besides which, I think you'd make a good model. I like
+photography, actually. It's always been a hobby of mine. And I think I'm
+decent at it, enough not to shock anyone with the horror, at least." She
+giggled at this. "Is this an in school project, or out of school?"
+The mention of her being a good model caught Sakura off guard and even
+caused Rika to raise her head from her notes taking. "Errr...huh? Me? A
+model? Not likely...I don't think I'm model material...that stuff kinda
+requires abit of beauty and grace...two serious requirements that arn't in
+my favour. But...thank you, that was nice of you to say." She then flipped
+open one of her note books and read over the assignment, "Hmm...says here,
+that it's kind of an artsy thingy. So, I'm guessing where ever you can point
+a camera. In school or out...doesn't really matter as long as it's done with
+proper lighting, focal points and mood settings involved."
+Sakura handed over her notes on the project to Tomoyo and bent over next to
+her, pointing out the various requirements, "See? It doesn't say where it
+gets done..." She then looked up at her new classmate with a kind smile,
+"You like taking pictures, huh? Too cool. Maybe you can teach me a few
+things...I tend to always mess up the exposures."
+Terada looked over to the two, after taking notice that Sakura had moved
+closer to Tomoyo. He then smiled seeing that Sakura was actually pointng out
+an up-coming project paper to the new girl and went back to finishing up the
+lesson. "...and that's why the common denominator is always followed
+with..."
+"Anywhere?!" The first time in ages she'd even had time to think of such a
+thing. "I think the park would be nice...all the flowers are blooming, and
+the Sakura trees as well. Maybe even in a kimono..." Tomoyo touched her hand
+to her cheek, eyes glazed over. "Oh, I think you'd look nice in a nice blue
+one...fabrics are endless...what kind of embroidery, though? I think maybe
+suns...suns and stars...dragons? Hmm. So maybe brighter colors..." She
+trailed off, smiling dreamily. "We should go to the store after school! I
+still remember where it is, I think."
+Naoko was staring. It was hard to take in. Although Sakura was entergetic,
+cheerful, and always smiling, she was hardly graceful. She generally caught
+the baton on her head and nose and anywhere but her hands fifty percent of
+the time in cheerleading, and she'd been doing that for quite a while.
+"Um...model?"
+"Yes! Don't you see it?" Tomoyo turned, excited. "It's perfect!!"
+Sakura sat back in her chair as her cheeks went all rose coloured from
+embarrassment and some-what shock. "Errr...I don't know...I've never really
+done anything like this before." She then caught the mention of hit a store
+afterwards, "Umm...wouldn't that be expensive? I really can't afford
+that...not that i don't want to, but...." She really didn't know Tomoyo
+would get so enthusiastic about this project...it was suppose to be a simple
+picture shoot to show creativity. But the way she was going on, it sounded
+like she wanted to open a photo studio.
+"Ummm...perfect?" A sweat drop ran down her forehead, "I don't know if I'd
+say perfect...I'm just..."
+Rika final said something after quietly listening to the conversation, "Oh,
+I don't know Sakura-chan. Perhaps you could be a model? I think you should
+give it a try." The green eyed girl looked at Rika with abit of surprise,
+"You choose NOW to say something?" Rika giggled and then went back to her
+gazing lovingly at Terada Sensei.
+"You're perfect." Tomoyo's voice was confident. "Don't worry about supplies.
+I can get them. Okaa-san doesn't mind funding my hobbies, so long as I
+complete them." She smiled at the girl, both hands on her cheeks, reddening
+as costume ideas flooded her mind. "Oh! I can see you in sooooooooo many
+different things! Sakura-chan at the aquarium! Sakura-chan at the beach! Ah,
+this'll be fun! School is wonderful!! It'll be just so absolutely perfectly
+KAWAII!!"
+"Erm, Tomoyo-san--" Naoko was beginning to think this girl was more
+obsessive then herself, in about three minutes of knowing her. What had
+happened to the quiet girl of about two minutes ago?
+"Sakura-chan will make a wonderful model! Even her ears are adorable!"
+Instinctually Sakura covered her ears, "My ears?...a...adorable?" The poor
+girl was now getting out right embarrassed as some of the other students
+were catching wind of this little talk, and more notes were being passed
+around the classroom. Kinomoto was fully aware what was on those notes too,
+and this caused her to shy away more so, "I...umm...arigato
+Tomoyo-chan...domo ...errr...but, don't you think...umm? Don't you think me
+on the beach, at the aquarium, and...my ears are alittle much?"
+She was beginning to think this new girl was alittle too friendly, though it
+was incredibly flattering to say the least. Sakura couldn't quite place it,
+but there was something about Tomoyo that seemed so darn familiar...perhaps
+it was her face, or her smile, or her voice...but something seemed to dig
+into Sakura psyche deeply. And the praise she was getting from the girl was
+making Sakura feel...funny. If it wasn't for the crowds of students
+near-by...she felt that it wouldn't be that uncomfortable.
+Giggling as the other girl turned red, Tomoyo smiled. This felt familiar,
+like she'd done so before. She knew this girl, it seemed. And it was hard
+not to keep hyperventilating on the uber-kawaiiness of Sakura, but she was
+starting to get weird looks, and that would hardly do. Though she had always
+been somewhat eccentric, off in her own little world. And the whispering was
+growing in volume, possibly about her, but that didn't much matter.
+"Gomenasai, Sakura-chan. I guess it's just that you were right, is all." She
+smiled sweetly, tilting her head so it seemed as if her hair were violet in
+the light. "We get along swell."
+Sakura's mouth was partially open as she was looking at Tomoyo in a new
+light, though somewhat still in shock, "Umm...yeah. Exactly my
+point...sorta." She then straightened up and looked down at her books,
+noticing that she's missed the entire last part of the lesson and sighed in
+grief, "Ohhh, man..."
+Terada Sensei was just wiping off the board and then turned around, "Okay
+class, now I'm sure that wasn't so bad. I'll expect those papers to be
+finished by tomorrow, and just a reminder. The photography assignment study
+is due for next Monday, so I hope that you all have setup partners, and if
+not, I'll assign partners tomorrow for the remainders of you all." He then
+brushed off his hands and bowed, "Class dismissed..." He said this just as
+the bell rang out as if he was timing it in his head.
+Sakura began packing up her books and supplies slowly, still thinking about
+all of the ideas Tomoyo had stated. And then she smiled to herself,
+picturing herself wearing the kimono with bright enwrapping dragons and
+cherry blossoms. "Hmm...that would look nice, I do admit." The rest of the
+class also began to pack up, making the odd comment of the new girl and her
+rather vocal expressions towards Kinomoto.
+Smiling as she left, Tomoyo spent what was left of the day thinking about
+her ideas, and sketching. It'd been a while since she'd done such things,
+and she was generally cheerful about it. Sakura was in most of her classes,
+but it didn't take long to get the hang of drawing her, after three periods
+of staring.
+Now there was just the problem of finding the girl. Standing by the school
+gates, where a slight breeze lessened the heavy heat of the day, Tomoyo
+waited for the other girl, watchful.
+As Sakura left the confines of the school, she stopped to strap on her
+roller blades on the front steps. And it didn't take her long to throw her
+school bag over her one shoulder and shoes over her other, "Wow...what an
+interesting day, and here I thought it would be boring."
+She skated up to the school gates and saw Tomoyo waiting there. "Oh my...was
+she actually serious about shopping after school?" Sakura hadn't taken her
+entirely serious before, and even now, thought that maybe Tomoyo just wanted
+someone to walk home with. "Hi Tomoyo-chan!" She waved as she rolled up to
+the long haired girl. "Are you waiting for me?"
+"Of course, Sakura-chan!" The raven-haired girl smiled sweetly. "We're going
+shopping, remember? I still know the way to my favorite craft store, and it
+should have everything I need. Or is there something else you need to do?"
+Her brow creased, worried. "I don't want to keep you from getting things
+done."
+And if she ever should, it would be very, very bad. Doing such a
+thing...deserved nothing.
+Sakura shook her head, "Nope...it you wanna look around for stuff at the
+craft store, I'd be glad to go with ya!" A sparkled smile came forth from
+Sakura as she stopped rolling right at Tomoyo, and then a crack caused her
+to stumble abit, and had to take a hold of the classmate's shoulder to
+steady herself, "Errr...sorry about that. Okay...so where to?"
+She was rather surprised...she hardly ever stumbled before on her skates. In
+fact she was a rather good roller blader, but she figured mistakes happen.
+"It's just across from the Grudenten Cafe. You know of it? It was quite
+popular last I was here." Tomoyo smiled, steadying her classmate as she
+looked up slightly, the skates making Sakura taller. "The craft store is
+small, but it has a good selection." It wasn't as if she were surprised;
+Sakura had the tendency to be less the graceful at times. But she seemed to
+be graceful to Tomoyo, almost all the time, just slightly distracted. It was
+odd, already, that she wasn't.
+Nodding cheerfully, Sakura knew exactly where that was, though never knew
+there was a craft shop across from it, "Okay..." she began skating at
+walking speed, sometimes backwards to face Tomoyo directly and other times,
+just beside the young girl.
+It didn't take the two long to get where they were going, and Sakura found
+Tomoyo's presence rather soothing, in an odd way. Like they've been friends
+forever. Without the crowd of the students, Sakura was able to be herself,
+and didn't mind the raven-haired girl's rather eccentric ways.
